Inside Bridgewater: Rumors of Listening Devices, Crying Employees, and Filthy Poems Revealed in New Book

According to a new book titled "The Fund: Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Associates, and the Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend," some employees at investment-management firm Bridgewater Associates resorted to taking personal calls in the woods to avoid potential surveillance by the company. The book alleges that Bridgewater had extensive surveillance measures in place, including cameras, keystroke tracking, and hidden recording devices. The rumor that the company was considering installing listening devices in the trees put an end to this practice. Bridgewater has denied the claims made in the book, calling them false and stating that the book presents a slanted and inaccurate picture of the company.
